what i see looking at you

Scared of perfection

Unable to look at your reflection

Until you can your going in the wrong direction

I know your sick of all this hate

So go on and step up to the plate

Cuz God’s ready to deal you your fate

Forget your fear and don’t run away

Do what you have to to make yourself say

Cuz if you don’t he wont stay

Your life is feeling like a patch worked quilt

Filled with all your shame and your guilt

Your heart is everywhere like it got spilt

You gotta figure it out before it passes you by

Don’t show your tears, it does you no good to cry

Its all up to you if it lives or dies

I would take all the pain, I would pull you from the flame

I will do what I must to keep us as one, I cant be happy if we are done.

So ill take a bullet to the chest, and if you let me I will do the rest

The weight of the world could seem like a feather, but you gotta let us be together

I would gladly taste cold steel if you would just let me feel… the way I do about you.

I looked at all the tags for this poem and it made me wonder because it reveals such confusion over loss. Almost as if it's saying all will be okay if you only return, Would it? You have a natural sense of rhyme but the doesn't come forth too easily because of the dismal petulant mood in which it's written. I almost have a feeling that if all these different poems were joined together you'd have an epic (Ancient Mariner style) but how would it end.

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
